Kalen DeBoer 2022 - #8 [/b]
DeBoer had the best first season of Husky head coach in the modern era and it's not even fucking close.
We had 2 coaches for 35 years from 1957 to 1992.
We've had 8 coaches in the 29 years since 1993.
It begs the question - when would @RaceBannon have fired Jim Owens?
My dad gave up on him around 66 or 67 and he was right
I learned at the feet of the master
The biggest failure is Lambo by far. Gibly and the 12-0 squad second
Rick didn't lose 5 games he just ran out of time
Can't blame Sark - you have no idea of the damage that Ty did
Actually can't blame Ty taking over a 1-11 team
Petersen underachieved his first two years quite honestly
Peterman's stubbornness hurt more than meathead Lambo. Two plays from Rosebowls (Hi Pup) he was too stupid to know better. I get where you're going and in the lens of coming off James, Lambo totaled the Ferrari.
Peterman on the other hand knew better. He had Oregon and SC on the ropes and let them off the book. Instead of National Gator QBs, Comedians and midgets were the spoils of a team on the cusp of regular playoff apperances (so I heard from many a Doog) No linebackers for us.
Lambo didn't get us? to a Rosebowl but I'll go to my grave believing he wouldn't have quit if he got there because it wasn't fun.
So for that, I say Fuck Off Peterman.
You would have liked Dad (#1) Race. He was anti James for the archaic offense. "Run 3 plays into the line and punt" Dad used to mutter about the James offense in the early/mid 80s"
Had a feeling about Fats and I think he elevates the program over James. Maybe not a Natty but he sleeps in the office and grinds away. It won't take an 86 Sun Bowl beat down for him to adjust either
